Two fountains are working just in front of the window between 9 AM and 9 PM drowning all the barely noticeable noises into the relaxing sound of splashing water.

Centrally located in Sarasota, near to everything, especially to Siesta Key Beach (4 miles, 6 km 8 minutes driving). The selling argument, although, is the vacation-friendly environment of Los Lagos, you live inside a quiet bird sanctuary, an opulent vegetation, enjoying the Mediterranean architecture, the calm, quiet atmosphere.

A retired computer consultant married to a marine biologist want to share their exclusive hideaway with other people dreaming about a quiet garden, a lake belonging to the Ashton Lake complex with rich bird life, the beautiful Siesta Key Beach just around the corner, the boat life, the scuba diving, the snorkeling. We play golf, there are more than 50 golf courses around, anybody can find a course which suits the own abilities and wallet.

We fell in love directly at the first visit. The natural Sunny Side Lake, the lush vegetation, the house in colonial Spanish revival architecture promised peace of mind. The generous space inside, the luxury furniture is inviting for a memorable vacation at a very affordable price. We do not like crowded concrete block houses arranged in straight lines, in artificial, man-made gardens. In Los Lagos the roads are winding, the red brick houses are little different from each other and arranged harmonically adjusted to the gardens topography, to the natural Florida vegetation. You got to go back 50 years in time and several hundred miles to the South to find similar architecture.
